X – Waiting For The Reunion

The whole idea we had behind the raft had been long forgotten by the time we were halfway through building it and the thought of some of the things Malificent used to manipulate me had been pushed to the back of my mind. But now that we are only a single door away from our little brother, I feel happier than I did in years.
Silen – or Harry as is apparently his birth name – had come as mysteriously as he had vanished and it had hurt me more than it did Sora, mostly because Sora was growing closer and closer with Kairi. But Silen had been my little brother and I had sometimes felt my ability to be a Keyblade wielder grow whenever I felt the powerful need to protect the child.

Now we've seen the boy's Godfather and a woman whose son our brother is friends with and I wonder what their bond together is as the woman seems to disapprove of even the Godfather bond between my brother and him. Deciding to keep to the shadows regarding these two and do some recon I see their house appear.
The place looks gloomy as hell and I grunt as I feel the hold Darkness has over this place. I then look at the two again and whisper: "Sora, we better watch out. I'm not sure if these two are exactly safe to be around our little brother." Sora looks at me and then at the house, probably feeling the same as I do as he nods.

Then we enter the house and a boy my brother's age comes over and says: "Harry rescheduled his meeting with dad, mum. He'll be back in a few." The woman nods and Sora asks: "He doesn't want to see us?" But Mickey says: "Of course he does, Sora. I think he just want this meeting over quick so he has more time to reunite with you and Riku."
Me and my pall – and secret crush – nod and we all move into the room at the back of the gloomy hallway. All the while I look around trying to locate the places where Darkness is at its strongest so that I can – when alone – cast it out of this house with my Keyblade. Then I finally meet some of the people Sora is close friends with.
Leon, Hayner and Jack all greet Sora happily and Luxord nods with a smile, but we regard him cautiously – trusting him around Harry as little as we do the people around us. Sora then takes the empty spot next to Hayner and Sirius laughs, asking: "Sensing where Harry sat, did you?" But Sora looks up and shakes his head.
I myself sit next to Leon opposite of where Sirius goes to sit and he says: "Let me introduce you to some of the people you'll be staying with. You know Leon, Hayner, Jack and Luxord, of course, and these are the Weasleys, Remus Lupin, Kingsley Shakklebolt, Nymphadora Tonks, Albus Dumbledore and Hermione Granger."

I then decide to get to the point, wanting to know if I should take Silen out of here once he gets back from his meeting or not and spat: "Okay, first things first. What's with all the Darkness in this house? Are all of you even trustable around our little brother? Cause if not – we're out of here and we'll take Silen with us."
The group around us looks shocked and Luxord says: "I really thought you would have realized by now to never judge a book by its cover, especially seeing the actions of Roxas and DiZ and your own connection to Darkness." This makes me spat: "Well, sorry if I want to protect someone I haven't seen in 5 bloody years."
This makes the godfather smile and he says: "Glad to see your protective side is as strong to Silen as mine. And don't worry about the darkness of this place. We're just stationed here as a secret order, because no one would search for us here. Especially not me and especially not those that know how much I hate the Dark side."

I nod at the man and ask: "And this Secret Order?" To this the elder man named Dumbledore says: "It's called the Order of the Phoenix. I first founded it in 1970 when I started to see that Lord Voldemort was rising to the power and that our world was on the brink of a war. It was dismantled in 1981 and reborn this year."
To this Sora asks: "And who is this Lord Voldemort?" The man sighs and the brown-haired man named Remus Lupin answers: "He calls himself the Dark Lord. He's a Half-Blood, but he's all in for Purebloods and against Muggleborns. He's also the one who caused Harry to be an orphan because he killed Harry's parents."

This shocks me and Sora senseless and I ask: "When on earth did he do that? And how bloody old was Harry?" And then finally the woman that came to greet us shows me why she and Sirius get along so little as she snaps demandingly: "Young man, watch your language!" This only causing me to look at her with a raised eyebrow.
Then Jack asks: "So what's this all about Half-Bloods and Muggleborns?" And this time the girl named Hermione answers: "In our world we have three different Blood-groups. Muggleborn; if you're Magical and your parents are not. Half-blood; one parent magical, the other Muggle. And Pureblood, meaning both parents are magical."

To this the boy named Ron says: "Wow, Hermione, that was your shortest explanation ever." The girl glares and to my shock it takes them only a few snappy words before they start fighting each other. I look at them like I did at the woman named Molly Weasley and ask: "Should we do something about them perhaps?"
But the twins shrug and say: "Ah, let them. It's basic for them to fight at least twice every 3 days. It'd be weird if they didn't." But this confession – spoken with good humor – does have some effect as the two stop shouting at each other to turn their vicious glares at the red-head, causing him to gulp in actual fear.
Then Ron smirks and asks: "Hermione, do you think we should call Harry back?" This actually makes both of the twins blanch as if Silen has something on them and the girl says: "No, we should let him be. That meeting seemed really important to him." The youngest male red-head nods and we all look at the door.
